Engineering/commissioning
Product position:
Drive ES SIMATIC is a function block library which supports you when establishing communications between the CPU and drives. The function blocks run on a SIMATIC-CPU.

2. Drive ES SIMATIC:
The Drive ES SIMATIC blocks are configured on a PC and then downloaded into the CPU.
SIMATIC S7

3. SIMATIC S7
Drive ES SIMATIC:
Blocks are provided for communication functions. These blocks do not have to be developed or programmed - they only have to be parameterized. The following blocks are available:

4. Non-cyclic parameter transfer
SIMATIC S7
Blocks:
Cyclic data transfer
Non-cyclic parameter transfer
Reading-out fault texts from drives (e.g. for OP display)
Project examples
Generator to easily expand the communications
Download from the CPU (when replacing drives)
Converter from parameter set > DB (when replacing drive units)
Converter for projects from older blocks into Drive ES SIMATIC format.
Tested blocks are available in five languages
Blocks are multi-instance capable
Blocks can also be configured with CFC

5. Using project examples:
This is how you can use project examples to quickly establish communications between the CPU and your drives.

6. Expanding project examples:
You can simply expand the project example using the data block generator.

7. Replacing drives:
Here, you can see how the parameter set of the drive is downloaded from the CPU after a drive has been replaced.

3. Download parameters after the drive has been replaced, e.g. activated via OP
1. Replace the defective drive unit
STEP7 program – download DBs into the load memory

8. Save the STEP7 program with generated DB in the SIMATIC CPU
